A deeper look at the Colts’ blockbuster trade for DeForest Buckner

Free agency has barely begun, and as usual, teams across the league are putting shocking moves on the table. Around the NFL, Texans WR De’Andre Hopkins was traded to the Cardinals in exchange for RB David Johnson and draft picks. The Dolphins are making huge moves with Shaq Lawson and Kyle Van Noy. Byron Jones is also a Dolphin and will be the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.

At the forefront of it all is the Colts’ trade for 49ers lineman DeForest Buckner. The Colts have pulled one of the most surprising moves of the offseason, given the front office’s prior use of cap space being minimal at best.
